Thanks

It seems ‘E’ is a cell array.

Perhaps this will do what you want:

output(57,1) = E{35}

or:

output(57,1) = E{:}(35)

A guess, since I don’t have your data.

[C Mck]

that doesnt seem to work.

this is E

E =

You’re not actually looking at ‘E’, you’re looking at ‘output(57,1)’, so row 57, column 1 of ‘output’, to which you have just assigned ‘E(35)’.

For example:

output(10,1) = E(35)

output =

              0
              0
              0
              0
              0
              0
              0
              0
              0
         115.05

It displays the entire column because you asked it to, with ‘E(35)’ now assigned appropriately.

Look at this example

a=[0 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 3 0 0 0 4 5]
b=[6 7 8 9 10]
a(6)=b(3)

%The last line will display all the values of a, if you want to display one value

a(6)=b(3);
a(6)
